Amendments to the plan of operation must be submitted to the commissioner and become effective upon the commissioner's written approval or 30 days after submission if the commissioner has not disapproved. If the association fails to submit suitable amendments to the plan, the commissioner shall, after notice and hearing, adopt reasonable rules necessary or advisable to implement sections 61B.18 to 61B.32. The rules shall continue in force until modified by the commissioner or superseded by amendments submitted by the association and approved by the commissioner.

Subd. 2.Compliance.

All member insurers shall comply with the plan of operation.
